AOIC appoints interim CEO
Until a new CEO is found, celebrant and former president and chair Phil Spicksley will be undertaking Jevons’ duties
The Association of Independent Celebrants (AOIC) has announced that former chair Phil Spicksley has been appointed as its interim CEO.
The news comes as Grace Jevons steps down from the role after joining in 2023.
Until a new CEO is found, celebrant and former president and chair Spicksley will be undertaking Jevons’ duties whilst conducting a thematic review of the association to “ascertain its needs” as it looks to a big and bright future.
The review will also shed light on the CEO role, and the type of person required for the job.
Spicksley said: “It is with a sad heart that Grace decided to step down. She was the first CEO for the AOIC, and our committee and directors fully understand the hard work she put into the association during her tenure.
“Grace will be remaining with the AOIC as a director, and we look forward to continuing our work together in the future. We send her our thanks and bid her farewell as she builds on other work she has around Devon and Cornwall.”
He added: “I am looking forward to helping the AOIC, an organisation I helped to shape and build since its start in 2007, move to the next level with the person who will continue to lead it to a bright and successful future.”
Jevons said: “This is an exciting time to be a part of the AOIC and I hope to see it keep going from strength to strength. I remain a director on the association’s board and look forward to continuing to be instrumental in its success.”
